You Ever Just Want To Shrink Yourself Down To Live In A Forest Of Lichens, Liverworts, And Mosses?

The Indonesian black chicken is the strangest, most expensive and rarest breed of chicken in the world, it is called "Lamborghini chicken", the price of its eggs can reach 2500 dollars and it is very delicious.

Everything in this chicken is black without exception, its feathers, beak, tongue, nails, even its meat, eggs and bones. As for his blood, it is dark red, which tends to black.

I will be catching up on this today! I have trouble deciding what to post, so this will help.

Why We May Sometimes Lose Focus Along Our Path

|Artwork: Remedios Varo - 'Tightrope Walkers', 1944

There comes a point in ones life where an individual reaches one of the many peaks and passing phases in their life. During this period, the individual encompasses certain characteristics upon their desired role.

Perhaps a person wanted to attain mastery of a certain chord or song on an instrument, or attain a change to ones own moral character or possess eternal youth; they were on their way, progressing tremendously towards their outcome — until one day — their desired milestone suddenly slips or eases away from their own daily habits which the person has worked dillengently to achieve.

Maybe the person slips back into old habits or ways of thinking that end up becoming detrimental to their mental, physical, or spiritual self. These ways of being and thinking will become detrimental to a person, as these ways of being and thinking is no longer suitable for the individual; it would be like a Cicada or a butterfly going through metamorphosis only to fly back into their old shell in hopes of returning to their original state of a locust or caterpillar. This desire is nothing more than an individual's own self pleaing to learn how to walk again, or in this case, learn how to ground again.

This phenomenon is mostly regarded as 'falling off the spiritual path' or 'to become lost'. This is simply not the case, perhaps we were too focused upon the expectations of what the path will bring rather than the path itself. The path we chose did not disappear out of the blue, yet it still lingers there; waiting for our return. It is in human nature to make mistakes. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, though quite the opposite, we make mistakes for our own benefit.

When we lose focus upon our path, even though it may be frustrating— and even disheartening— it is there to serve a purpose. It is just that, we have lost focus on what the path truly serves for us and in order for us to continue along that path we shall refocus and concentrate on this chosen path.

Do humans truly tend to seek security, or is it in our nature to seek the unfamiliar; the unknown? We seek security when we begin to lose focus on our path, we place defenses around us of disbelief at times of true tribulations. We begin to feel uncertain of trusting ourselves, we hang on tight; refusing to let go of what we think we know rather than letting ourselves trust and observe in life's natural flow.

It is at these times of uncertainty where we recover and regain our composure to discover what the path truly means to us. Our loss of focus is still on the spiritual path we walk, we merely become distracted upon our perceived world within the mind; a distracted mind leads to a distracted life. Our seperation towards our path is nothing more than illusion, it may seem as though it has gone away, yet it is still there giving us the opportunity to observe and witness the obstacles in our path that we may feel aren't worth crossing. We choose each day to live up to our own potential we wish to seek, for it is ours. We all walk our own unique paths, many may reach the same destination (perhaps we all do), though it is through these lessons of the journey which creates our own unique impact.

We shall see the loss of focus as a way of fine tuning our path into a trail that is more easily traversable. It is there, waiting, to teach rather than hinder our growth; so when we lose our focus once more, we may gain the knowledge and wisdom—to see the patterns as they arise to once again learn and reinforce the faith within our own personal compass—to be confident rather than hesitant; to release doubt that the decisions we make will truly be for our own healing and self-worth.

It is through Will which forges our path to determination, if you find yourself many times thinking of the same dreams and visions of what you may want to achieve and find yourself with that good feeling when doing a certain activity to get to that dream, you have found your determined path.
